[At GABF 2004] A red-brown beer with a small light brown head. The aroma is of roasted malt and caramel, while the flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, which gives it a dry end, but the body is thin. An OK Schwarz bier.

On tap at North Wales. Poured a deep and dark amberish/orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, toasted caramel, and some citrus. Tastes of roast, chocolate, some toasted nuttiness, and caramel.

Draft, followed up by a growler which I am now drinking. This one poured deep black with dark brown edges and a tan head. The aroma was intense, with big roasty malt and dark chocolate syrup. The palate is dense and complex, and the flavor is roasty malty, with some vinous fruit notes, backed up by a mid and end palate of dark choclate, hazelnuts, and slight anise. Very complex, and a marvelous companion to a maduro cigar. As the self-proclaimed king of Scwarzbiers on this site, I proclaim this one pathetically underrated.

Poured a clear amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of nuts, caramel malts, roast, and toast. Taste of caramel, roasted malts, nuts, light citrus, and a dry finish.

GABF 09. Pours a deep clear woody brown almost black- nice light beige head. Aroma is nutty, herbal, modest roast, choocolate and coffee, some black malt acrid- and burnt notes, toffee and light sweetness. Flavor is full bready toasted malt, then some nice herbal floral hops to balance and a modest sweetness, and just hints of roast and chocolate- Clean and easy drinking will more flavor than 4.4% would lead you to believe. Nice.

Really an outstanding beer. I was really impressed with all of the beers that Iron Hill brought. Smoky, burnt tasting, light, fresh & sweet. I couldn’t get enough of this stuff.

Tap @ Media. Pours a dark brown with red coming through when held to the light. Smaller off white head that eventually went away to nothing. Aroma of sweet malts, light smoke and toasty malts. Flavor was sweet and roasty, some smoke, malty, grainy, molasses and some bitter chocolate.
